How Do You Get A Candle To Burn Evenly (edge To Edge)?

All my candles seem to just burn a hole that gets deeper and deeper. They never burn to the edges. That's a lot of wasted wax!

    For edge to edge burning of a candle make sure that you let it burn completely to the edge of the jar before extinguishing it, at the very first time. This would ensure that the candle would burn evenly everytime. Also Soy candles are known for burning evenly so you can use those instead of Paraffin candles.

      If your candle is already unevenly burnt, get some tin foil and wrap it around the jar/container. Fold the tin foil slightly inward on the top, so it's shaped like an open dome. This way the tin foil will conduct the heat from the flame, and the "dome" on top will trap the heat in. Eventually the wax should level itself out!
